File this one under Numbskull Buyer of the Day. Something very cheesy about this person's story. Trolling for sympathy, I'd say.

I do not know much about bicycles and want to buy one. The price is not my most major conceern at this point. I just want to know what would be the best for me to buy. I am 40 five ten and one hundred forty five. I will use the bike for not much use all in all. I just want one that I can ride along the beach, from the T stop in Ipswich to Crains Beach and back. Maybe some riding along the Charles too. I live in the city. It just depends on how comfortable I get as time goes on, so I want a sturdy bike that will last as I intend to keep what I buy for a long time. I know it sounds stupid but I already broke my nose running and had a nose job that was oh so painful and I am afraid of going over the handle bars. I might do some off road biking too so should I get a "mountain bike" that can withstand the terrain? Any help would be grately apppreciated and I thank you for you time! Someone mentioned a "Cody" bicycle. Ever heard of that modle and think it might me right for me?
